Howard Nemerov, "The Loon's Cry"

"... For signatures
In all things are, which leave us not alone
Even in the thought of death, and may by arts
Contemplative be found and named again."

Milosz: An Honest Struggle


"IF THERE IS NO GOD"


If there is no God,
Not everything is permitted to man.
He is still his brother's keeper
And he is not premitted to saddened his brother,
By saying there is no God.

Czeslaw Milosz
Second Space: New Poems (Ecco, 2004).
